The Elusive Model 8

[AK47]

Many of you that have been around awhile remeber this thing on Ebat awhile back. I was the one that scored it and am finally getting around to restoring it. It just needs a white truss rod cover and a white tremolo cavity plate and a decent set up. I was impressed it came with a real Schaller tremolo.
Here are the pics.

Yep. Charvel Spectrum. Based on Jeff Beck's Soloist.

I thought the Spectrum had a Toothpaste logo?

Re: The Elusive Model 8

The logo is why it's a model 8 I think.

Yes, the Model 8 and Model 8M are the predecessors to the Spectrum. The only difference between the two are the logos and possibly the pickups.

The pickguard is a little different than the spectrum. It plays real nice also.

Re: The Elusive Model 8

except for having a pickguard, that is one cool guitar. What is the mini switch for?

Re: The Elusive Model 8

Yeah, I had a Spectrum in Turqoise with a maple neck. That was a killer guitar. I loved that mid-boost set-up it had. I should have never sold it!!

Re: The Elusive Model 8

Do the Spectrums come with the Schaller also?
